TP Fire & Security

What TP Fire & Security does

TP Fire & Security Ltd is an independent, privately-held UK fire safety and security systems integrator founded in 1990 in Norfolk and now operating nationwide. The company installs, maintains, monitors, and repairs fire protection and electronic security systems across more than 5,000 customer sites in the UK, employing 120+ staff across three regional offices in East Anglia (East Harling HQ), Greater London (Romford), and the Midlands (Bromsgrove). Vertical focus spans social housing providers, local government and councils, education, hospitality, industrial/manufacturing, and commercial/retail.

The technology stack is built on best-of-breed third-party hardware — Siemens Cerberus PRO detectors (including ASA units for harsh environments), Advanced MxPro 5 fire panels with PC-Net graphics, Hochiki and Apollo Fire Detectors — integrated into bespoke multi-system solutions covering fire alarms, emergency lighting, extinguishers, gas suppression, CCTV, access control, intruder alarms, and warden call systems. Service delivery rests on multi-skilled field engineers, an in-house 24/7 alarm receiving centre for monitoring and rapid response, and structured Planned Preventative Maintenance (PPM) programmes. The company holds NSI Gold, BAFE, ISO 9001, Constructionline Gold, SafeContractor, and Cyber Essentials certifications, which together act as a regulatory gateway to UK public-sector and enterprise work.

The business model combines one-time installation project revenue, recurring subscription-based maintenance and 24/7 monitoring contracts, professional services for fire risk assessments and training, and on-demand emergency call-out fees. Pricing is quote-based, not publicly disclosed, and contracts are typically billed annually. Go-to-market is direct enterprise field sales supplemented by procurement framework appointments — notably Lot 1 of the Eastern Procurement Compliance Framework (appointed February 2026 with a 100% quality score). The company is founder-family-influenced (founder Terry Young's son Paul Young was appointed Managing Director in 2024) and shows no external private equity or venture capital exposure.
